Dwell on Design this weekend

Thursday, June 24, 2010

Dwell Magazine is hosting their annual Dwell on Design conference this weekend in Los Angeles. I won't be able to attend this year, but there are plenty of ideas and inspiration on their website for armchair attendees like me.

Here are a few of my favorites:

1. Top of the list, of course, is the Reclaimed Space house, with interiors designed by ecofabulous. The 400 sq ft house is constructed almost entirely of salvaged wood and fixtures. Furnishings include organic and recycled upholstery. Looks like a Mod Green Pod print on the armchair. Click the image for a video tour.



2. Tile patterns by Heath Ceramics. Collaborating with Dwell, this new line of ceramic tile is both modern and timeless.



3. Tenugui cloths from Keiko Shinomoto, co-owner of Tortoise and Tortoise General Store:

4. Dwell on Design will host an exhibit called Faces of Freedom by the RugMark Foundation. This exhibit aims to raise awareness about child labor in the South Asia rug-making industry. RugMark sponsors the "GoodWeave" child-labor-free certification program, which rescues and educates thousands of child laborers.
